A:
I'm pretty sure you can't use this hub directly to share an internet connection. A router (or a modem with router function) is needed for sharing. If you have a router/modem which has a USB port, the hub might be usable to extend that port, but that depends on whether the router's management of its USB port allows multiple connections.
If your computers have ethernet connectors and your router/modem does as well, then that's a good solution; you'd need ethernet cables. Another good solution would be if your computers have WiFi and the router/modem does as well - that wouldn't be a wired system, of course.
